9731265史密斯安克雷奇历史和艺术博物馆将利用这一规划奖来开发剧本、鉴定文物，并进行其他初步规划活动，以展示《拨开迷雾：1728年至1867年北太平洋的探索》。展览面积将在5000至6000平方米之间。英国《金融时报》这将使参观者深入了解北太平洋在俄罗斯统治该地区的时代所取得的科学发现。这些俄罗斯领航者包括来自一些欧洲国家的个人，他们在生物学、水文学、海洋科学和技术、地理和地图学以及人种学方面取得了重大发现。有了这笔规划拨款，他们将把一群博物馆专业人士聚集在一起，代表各种方法，包括亲手操作的科学博物馆、科学家和科学历史学家、正规教育工作者、阿拉斯加原住民和一名评估员，以完善计划。项目工作人员将起草概念设计、起草标签文本、制定展品设计规范和制定目录等活动。在12个月的计划期结束时，他们将完善他们的展览主题，制定他们的平面图和概念设计，制定互动和动手活动的计划，制定解释性标签，并为补充活动制定计划，包括目录、课程计划和其他附属活动，如展示19世纪科学调查是如何进行的讲习班。

9731265 Smith Anchorage Museum of History and Art will used this planning award to develop the script, identify artifacts, and do other preliminary planning activities for and exhibit "Lifting the Fog: Exploration of the North Pacific, 1728 - 1867." The exhibit will be a 5000 to 6000 sq. ft. presentation that will give visitors insights into the scientific discoveries made in the North Pacific during the Russian era of dominance of this area. These Russian lead voyages, which included individuals from a number of European countries, made major findings in biology, hydrography, marine science and technology, geography and cartography, and ethnography. With this planning grant, they will bring together a group of museum professionals representing a diversity of approaches including hands-on science museums, scientists, and historian of science, formal educators, native Alaskans, and an evaluator to refine the plans. Project staff will draft the concept design, draft the label text, develop the specifications for the exhibit design, and develop the catalogue, among other activities. At the end of the twelve month planing period they will have refined their exhibit theme, developed their floor plan and concept design, developed plans for the interactive and hands-on activities, developed the interpretative labels and laid plans for the complementary activities including the catalogue, a curriculum plan, and other adjunct activities such as workshops demonstrating how scientific investigation was carried out in the 19th century.
